what ii think he means is every1 has there own signature pose when focus attacking and while doing a focus attack theres a certain amount of time before your character starts to flash the quicker you dash before that flash showes up the less it actually looks like your Focus Attacking because dashign breaks the whole signature FA pose i was talkink about heres an example
if your poking or starting a block tring (non special move combo) or (combo using all normal attacks) if its safe just throw in a quick FADC and they either wont notice or get scared and either throw a hit or keep blocking then you move on and decide what else you wanna do you can grab them do a cross up or keep doing your block string its all about adjusting your fight style in a way that nothin you do is TOO obvious and that will make them either get too comfortable or scared either way they might slip up and then you can PUNISH
Can just jump in here. What and how do you mean really fast w/o looking like a FA?
For combos:
Fireball FADC - avoid punishment, combo, throw. if blanka has no ex bars u can trick him to do his slide and focus attack it for example.
Uppercut FADC- avoid punishment, combo, throw.Some normals you can cancel with focus which can confuse people.
Normals can be FADC too but only under certain circumstances is it worth doing.
This pretty much goes for any character depending on the move you can do different things. Basicly use it to avoid punishment or to do big combos.
Using basic FADC:
Pressing forward while u press FA lets u tap forward once more to cancel dash. vice versa for back dash. This lets u dash really fast w/o looking like a FA. With ken, u can kara focus and dash making u do a super dash, its pretty sweet.
Its good for traveling across the screen. at a certain distance it will cause your opponent to block so he cant move backwards.
Use it to quickly absorb fireballs too. Most people dont throw random gaurd breakers so you can FA close to them and either absorb a move dash forward, back, or attack. Its good to do it just inside sweep range so you dont get hit twice and have a chance to punish them. Just half screen distance apart is not always smart because they might find a way to punish you; such as ex moves, guard breakers that are too slow at start to do up close but mid range is perfect. You want to be either close or just far enough.
Building up ultra is also a key element.
Also, Focus attacks put a lot of pressure because no1 wants to get hit and give you a free combo. Putting pressure on other players is a good idea =P.
